Was good to meet you on Monday Hakan, even though it was somewhat unexpected! How did the leg hold up for the remainder of your challenge?

Well done Hakan and Lars! Just beaten by a whisker... if only that T4 train at Hammersmith had waited 5 seconds longer...

I don't think that they missed a T4 train by five seconds at Hammersmith, did they?!

Good to meet you too! Unexpected indeed. Well, the leg didn't get much worse but certainly was no good for running for the rest of the evening. However, that did not foil our attempt.

We were in a situation at around 5 pm where we could had gone ahead of plan by around 8 minutes, had we only been at the proper door. We missed the connection by literarilly 1 second... At around 7.30 or so we had a string of small misfortunes which put us back around 12-15 minutes, so eventually we arrived some 20 minutes late at the finish. If we only hadn't missed that connection...

Thanks to Soupy for driving out to the NW corner to start us off!

Thanks to Andi for supporting early and late!

Thanks to Starkey, who supported us for several hours, and probably even saved a critical connection for us...

But I wish that I had told you to get in the right carriage at that place!

We were obviously well aware of it - in theory, but tiredness certainly played its part in forgetting...
